EA has announced that the FIFA series will officially change its name to EA Sports FC after this year’s FIFA 23, ending what will be an almost three-decade partnership with football’s governing body.
Announced in a blog post, EA Sports said the name change would take place after the next FIFA game, with more information coming about the first EA Sports FC in July 2023.
The next and final FIFA will include “more features, game modes, World Cup content, clubs, leagues, competitions, and players than any FIFA title before”, and Weber says EA Sports FC will receive more information in July 2023.
Weber made clear that despite dropping the name license, EA Sports FC will keep FIFA’s league, club and player licenses, including “19,000+ players, 700+ teams, 100+ stadiums and 30 leagues”.
